Saskatchewan to raise potash output to 5.8 million tons
The Saskatchewan mineral resources department said potash producers may reach 5.8 million tons in the year ending June 30, up from 5.6 million. Ellwood Cowley warned railcar supply and bunker fuel shortages could threaten the plan, while Canpotex export success supports the rise under a still relaxing quota system.

Uruski Explains New Business Use Auto Insurance Category
Manitoba Insurance Minister Bill Uruski said a new business use category will raise auto insurance premiums for vehicles used 15 percent or more for business, isolating higher risk drivers. Winnipeg motorists in business use face 40 to 60 percent basic premium increases, with about 27,000 Winnipeg vehicles affected. He noted taxpayers subsidize high-risk drivers under Autopac and many businessmen register cars via their company for tax breaks. The decision hinges on whether a vehicle is used for business 15 percent or more of the time. A Canada Manpower Centre expansion adds a new centre in Frobisher Bay, with five centres now in the Territories.
